M.Sadi-Carnot Elected President of tho
Republic by the Legislative Congress.
The Congress Of the Senators and Deputies
at Versailles, France, elected M. Sadi- Carnot
to succeed President Grevy. The successful
candidate is a Republican who has been prom
inent in politics ever since the downfall Of
Louis Napoleon, but his influence in his party
has been far inferior to that of his principal
rivals for Republican support in the contest
for the Presidency A Paris cab egram says:
The ministry have formally rendered their
resisnations and President Sadi Carnot has
quested them to remain in Office for the present
for the dispatch of public business. The Presi-
dent stated that il was his intention, after the
new ministry was formed, to at once close the
present session OF parliament until after the
coming senatorial elections. Probably the re-
could have happened for France. M.
Sadi Carnot is the second best
known economical writer in France, and has
had practical public experience far superior 10

lgious, but his wife is u Catholic. He has IL D.

The remarks were particularly inflammatory.
The speaker was Wolf and the officer was
told that his auditors were in the habit of
assembling at that place and boldly espous-
ing the cause of anarchy. The officer report
ed the matter to Lieutenant Arch, and it
was decided to arrest Wolff, who ap-
peared to be the moving spirit of the group.

In course of q conversation between John
Swinton and Karl Marx, which took place
shortly before the latter's death, Swinton asked
Marx What will the future bring?" Short but
meaning was the answer the great thinker and
social philosopher gave-it was but ono short
WORD, yet word expressing very much. The
answer was Fight How clearly Marx could
look into the future. Yes, fight and struggle.
Even II there are some optinists in our ranks
the majority OF our comrades are convinced
that il will take hard fighting to gain the great
final aim which the thinking proIetariat of all
countries with untiring fervor is now strug
Cling to reach. The picket skirmishing which
has been done during the last few years in
Europe as well as in America in the war for
the erection and institution of free society
proves there is no use in talking about a peace
able solution of this question. "War to the
palaces, peace to the huts, LaSalle exclaimed
twenty years ago. Whoever has heard the peo-
pie wall in the present distress and despera-
ton, whose heart is not wthered in his bosom,
ought to know that we need men who take part
with enthusiasm and passion in the fight of the
working class against the social evil. Whoever
Joins us must take all consequences upon him
self and must be ready to sacrifice everything
for the cause, even should it be his life. Life
is not the highest OF treasures"
